Autodesk Architectural Desktop 2007 & Prior

[#1]

Hello all,
I am using ADT 2006 on Windows XP Pro. I also have IE 7 Beta 3 installed on
the machine (in case that has any bearing on my problem). When I open ADT
2006 I get an opening message saying "Unable to load profile file. Some
profile information saved in last session may not be restored." and then OK
button. I hit ok and ADT starts loading up. Then I get another message
saying "Unable to load tool catalogs. A required module is not registered
properly" and then OK button. I hit ok and ADT loads up but I dont have
access to the Tool palettes and Project navigator palette.
I am not sure how to tackle this problem. Any input would be useful. Thank
you.

Well, be sorry no more. I do not mess with IE Betas, so I can not say whether IE 7 Beta 3 can be installed without affecting ADT 2006, but I would certain be suspicious about that.

You might try backing up any and all customizations you have made, then running a repair installation of ADT 2006 to see if that helps.

I am having the exact same trouble with you.
1. When I first click the AutoCAD icon, the error dialog shows up "Unable to load profile file. Some profile information saved in last session may not be restored"
2. I click OK, then the second error dialog shows up
"Unable to load tool catalogs. A required module is not registered properly".

I realize this error since this morning. I am suspicious with the Windows update patch. Does it have some kind of effect to AutoCAD?

BTW, I am using AutoCAD LT 2007, OS Windows XP SP2.

Forget something =)
I have tried to reinstall AutoCAD LT 2007, but I still experince the same trouble.

Hey did you solve your problem about AutoCAD 2007 when it says "unable to load profile file"? If yes, can you reply me I have the same problem..!

[#7]

uninstall your msxml and reinstall using the AutoCAD CD.

Hi all,

Reinstall the MSXML using Autodesk or AutoCAD CD and work. I have tried it. It workds great.

MSXML in the CD can be found in "Support" Folder. Install it and enjoy working with AutoCAD.

Good morning, all,

I'm having this problem as well, only a little different.

Every time I start up AutoCAD 2007 LT, I get the "Unable to load profile..." error.

I hit Ok to close that window, and AutoCAD proceeds to load and function fine. It forgets what tool pallettes I had open and where I put them on my screen, but otherwise everything seems to be available and function just fine.

I had a problem with AutoCAD several years ago that made it non-functional. I did an installation repair which solved that problem, but created this one.

I have lived with this for years now because the program does actually work and the simple fixes didn't. It is really irritating, however.

Oh, here's one thing that doesn't work: I can't start AutoCAD by double-clicking on a .dwg file. It starts to open the program, gives me the above error, then over the top of that one, has a "FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0020 Exception at 7c2431h". I have not even Ok'ed out of the first error yet. When I Ok that, It crashes out.

It creates an error log file that's not much more helpful:

　

FATAL ERROR: Unhandled Access Violation Reading 0x0020 Exception at 7c2431h

Thus I always have to start AutoCAD first, then open a file.

I have tried the fixes listed elsewhere here.

I have run xmlinst followed by regsvr32 msxml3.dll, both of which appear to be successful. However, nothing changes.

This is (and always has been) a single-seat, stand-alone installation on this physical computer, running Windows XP, SP3.

Any ideas?

I am really appreciate for all the information you gave. I am lucky to see them.
